Awwww.....Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ....

Can we have a single thread on this website without ten of us posting about how "It's not about the money!" and "If you are only concerned with the money you shouldn't be here!!"

We got it. They got it. If they don't, they never will, and they wont make it through anyways. So who cares? The money will either help the Q course student live a little better, or will help the former student and current 82nd Private buy a gun to shoot himself with.

The first post has a "I know it's not about the money, BUT here is some info for you guys so you don't get screwed".

After that, was there any reason for ANY of us to make any comments about it "Not being about the money"? He put the disclaimer in, so the thread should NOW BE ABOUT THE MONEY, as it was intended. I joined cause I wanted to be and do all the things that being in SF means. I would have done it for free. That being said, I got screwed out of $8000 additional because I didn't know any better. YES, I got $12000, which is more than many, but that IS IRRELEVANT. That $8000 would have made life easier on me.

So PLEASE, as long as someone throws the disclaimer in the first post, just contribute to the thread or leave it alone.
